A civil court in Miami sentenced them to the maximum penalty, without the safeguards of due process, on false charges — including charges that the District Attorney asked to be withdrawn due to lack of evidence — and with a jury that was subjected to threats by terrorist groups and exposed to the intolerance of radical organizations and the anti-Cuban press.
Una corte penal de Miami los sancionó a las penas máximas, sin las garantías del debido proceso por cargos falsos —incluidos los que el Fiscal pidió retirar por falta de pruebas—, con un jurado sometido a la amenaza de los grupos terroristas, la intolerancia de las organizaciones radicales y de la prensa anticubana.
